CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM PACKAGE: SYSTEM & LEGISLATIVE OVERHAUL
This package introduces comprehensive structural and procedural reforms to the political framework of Avalon. It is designed to modernize state governance, refine the lawmaking process, and establish clear constitutional checks and balances across government branches.
--- CURRENT MEASURE(S) INCLUDED ---
1. BICAMERAL LEGISLATURE & EXECUTIVE ASSENT REFORM:
- Restructures the legislative branch by expanding it from a unicameral model into two distinct, independent houses.
- Establishes that both houses will independently draft, debate, and pass separate legislative measures.
- Standardizes executive oversight by requiring all fully passed bills from both chambers to be submitted directly to the Prime Minister for formal review and a final Yes/No vote for enactment.
2. ARTICLE XI LEGISLATIVE & EXECUTIVE TERM CYCLES REFORM:
- Sets a fixed 2-year term cycle for the [Prime Minister](https://alpha.lawmakergame.com/countries/avalon/constitution/#holder-cabinet-prime-minister).
- Establishes opposite, staggered election cycles for the two legislative houses (one house elected every 12 months, the second house elected every 24 months).

| Party | Seats | Vote | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cashmen Proposer | 22 | Yes | No reason given |
| Centrist Zone | 25 | Yes | We accept this measure |
| Democratic Group | 24 | No | We continue to oppose the introduction of a bicameral legislature. Furthermore, this methodology is fundamentally flawed; if the Prime Minister is capable of rejecting or accepting any proposal, it negates the checks and balances claimed to be created by a bicameral system. We cannot allow the Prime Minister to override, in theory, the wishes of every member of both houses. |
| The Gaia Syndicate | 11 | No | we dont agree with this |
| Unionist Avalon | 7 | No | Sorry I think there can be better! Sorry. My New constitution incoming soon! Same as my budget |
